According to our sources, a key story in her younger brother James Middleton's new memoir contradicts the Sussexes' claims about their sister. Meghan Markle gave a stark account of her first meeting with Princess Catherine in her controversial series, which completely contradicts James Middleton's account of the first time his wife met her. The former reality TV star admitted that her relationship with her future sister-in-law began to falter long before their public feud.

She revealed that although she is affectionate by nature, her embrace came as a surprise to those accustomed to British customs. James’ memoir complicates this scenario, describing a warm family home free of any tension. He notes that he and his wife had a lovely day with their parents, siblings, nephews and nieces, marked by a heartfelt moment between him and his sister, in which she complimented his wife.

Prince Harry is said to be keen to reconnect with his sister-in-law. Sources say they have been in touch to patch up their differences. As Harry navigates his current situation without his wife on his third consecutive overseas trip, there are signs that he is distancing himself from her professionally. A source close to the Welsh family said that Catherine has been in indirect contact with Harry, always making sure William knows. Her loyalty remains to her husband and she would not have contacted him without his consent. Having gained a new appreciation for life, Catherine hopes to put an end to the ongoing feud.

Catherine has been working hard to rebuild her relationship with William in recent months. They agree on the need to move past the heartache and disappointment of recent years. As future queen, she is determined not to abandon Harry and his children; she believes he needs support and wants to return home. She feels it is important to avoid making the situation worse unnecessarily. The Duke is relieved to know that his sister has not completely lost faith in him, especially given the family’s recent challenges.

Catherine’s health struggles are a sobering reminder to Harry that while his wife’s reputation may be beyond repair at this point, Harry’s is still salvageable. With William keeping his distance, Harry realised that Catherine represented his best chance of engaging in dialogue with his brother. He regretted some of his past actions and never intended to hurt William, as they had a close bond.

He also wished he could have supported Catherine through her challenges at the palace. Despite the tumultuous months she faced, Catherine maintained her calm demeanor, a quality admired by the late Queen. The Queen made a special effort to make Catherine feel welcome, allowing her to visit Balmoral and capture the breathtaking views. Since that first visit, Catherine has frequently visited the royal retreat in the Scottish Highlands, and in 2019 the Welsh family were photographed attending church with the Queen.
